Chapter 1294: Diaphragm
t me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!“At your level, the pills you need should be something I can't refine.” Lu Xiaottian said. As a fourth-rank Pill King for so many years, alt...In most cases, a breakthrough in strength is still achieved through secluded cultivation. Although the environment where Lu Xia Tian is currently located is very ordinary, he has long been accustomed to it. As for the place of cultivation, Lu Xia Tian did not have too many requirements. Besides, after entering Shi Yao Cave and searching all the way, it seems that there was no place with extremely abundant spiritual energy.
The magical energy constantly circulates within the body, flowing from the Yuanying to the meridians, traversing a complete cycle through them before being absorbed back into the Yuanying. This process repeats endlessly. Through this continuous circulation, the magical energy becomes increasingly refined, and its total amount gradually increases at an extremely slow pace.
After the true essence circulated through one cycle after another, Lu Xiaoteng's Nascent Soul showed a change. With each cycle it ran, there seemed to be a few points of silvery-white impurities appearing either from within the Nascent Soul or floating from within the meridians, finally gathering on the surface of the Nascent Soul. Lu Xiaoteng didn't know if these small silver points were harmful, so he moved his true essence to expel them from his body. But soon, Lu Xiaoteng discovered that these silvery-white points were one with his own breath. No matter how hard he used his true essence, he couldn't expel them.
“He couldn’t be expelled no matter how hard he tried, regardless of whether he was willing or not.” After repeatedly trying many times, Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. Even his divine sense couldn't detect anything wrong with the silvery-white speck. Lu Xiaoteng simply stopped paying attention to it and wholeheartedly continued to circulate his mana. Perhaps after breaking through, as his cultivation realm improved, he would be able to expel this silver-white speck from his dantian.”
As the mana continuously flowed, on the surface of Yuanying's body, those light silver dots became more and more numerous. They even formed a layer of silvery-white membrane. This membrane, as thin as a cicada's wing, acted like a natural barrier, blocking the mana from flowing back through the meridians. Even the mana that Yuanying normally cultivated and released was hindered to some extent.
The previous slow growth had been halted. Ever since the silvery membrane appeared, Lu Xiaottian's internal spiritual energy maintained a delicate balance. The spiritual energy within his meridians also began to slowly flow away, dissipating into his limbs and bones. It seemed that the spiritual energy within him would no longer increase further.
Furthermore, as the spiritual energy within his meridians dissipated, the spiritual energy inside Yuan Ying was restrained by this layer of silvery diaphragm, unable to flow out. Lu Xia Tian suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Before this, he hadn't noticed it, but after this silvery diaphragm completely closed, Lu Xia Tian discovered that his Yuan Ying was enveloped within, as if suffocating.
"What in the world is this silvery diaphragm"
When Yuanying showed this near-suffocation state, Lu Xiaoteng was taken aback. He could feel that if he couldn't break free from the shackles of this silvery diaphragm, his Yuanying might truly suffocate to death like a drowning person.

Since entering the Yuan Ying stage, Lu Xia Tian, like other Yuan Ying cultivators, collected experiences from Yuan Ying cultivators breaking through their current realms. The head of the Mangxiao Sect mentioned it to him, and even in the Black Prison, Xiang Kuang gave him some guidance. Although they didn't practice the same cultivation technique or belong to the same school of cultivators, there were still some commonalities between breaking through from the early to the middle stage of Yuan Ying.

Whether from the experiences of Mang Xiao's head, Xiang Kuang, or from Lu Xia Tian himself collecting some secret books, none of them had ever encountered such a situation.
In any case, we must break through this silvery barrier as quickly as possible, or else centuries of arduous cultivation will be ruined in an instant.

Lu Xia Tian's face turned solemn. The crisis before him was the most dangerous he had faced since his ascension to the Nascent Soul stage. It even surpassed the previous battles against the three-headed snake demon Bi Qiong.
Lu Xiaoteng's physical body and Nascent Soul simultaneously closed their eyes for introspection. At this moment, the seven Demon Subduing Towers within his body, the Ruyi Battle Armor, and the Soul War Yuanzhu sensed the immense threat their master was facing, and they all rang out in unison. In contrast, the spiritual energy emitted by the eight ethereal flying swords, which were relatively strong in attack, was somewhat inferior.

But Lu Xia Tian didn't have time to think about that much right now.
With a clap of his hand, Yuan Ying unleashed a powerful force that struck the silvery diaphragm. However, this silver diaphragm was remarkably resilient, bulging outwards where it was struck by Lu Xia Tian's Yuan Ying, only to rebound instantly.
Lu Xia Tian's expression remained unchanged as he continued to switch locations, and the force of his subsequent attacks lessened slightly.
Without exception, this silvery-colored shield was struck by magical force. After being pushed out a section, it immediately regained its impressive resilience and rebounded quickly.
Lu Xia Tian took a breath, and after a brief pause, his nascent infant's fists struck out repeatedly. This time, however, unlike the previous probes, the nascent infant's punches landed with astonishing accuracy on the shallow silver diaphragm.
This silvery diaphragm, while possessing incredible defensive capabilities, is ultimately an unconscious object. It does not engage in targeted defense. If Lu Xiaoteng were to strike with a left palm and a right fist, even with this diaphragm's astounding defensive power, it is likely that even if Lu Xiaoteng depleted all his magical energy, he would still find it difficult to break through this layer of membrane.
Lu Xia Tian's experience with doufa was extensive. After just a few probes, he immediately found the only flaw in this silver diaphragm—aside from repelling his attacks, it wouldn't make any targeted adjustments to counter them.

It's better to focus on one thing than to attack everything at once.
Right now, Lu Xia Tian's nascent soul is sealed within this pale silver membrane. He can feel that this seemingly thin barrier is actually tightening with each passing moment. The time he has left is not very much.
As Lu Xiaoteng's relentless attacks concentrated on a single point, the shimmering silver membrane bulged ever higher. Yet, despite its increasing prominence, it remained unbroken. With time passing, a hint of anxiety began to appear on Lu Xiaoteng's face.
He could already feel the power of his nascent soul, which was too much, and under this diaphragm's constraint, the feeling of almost suffocation became increasingly obvious.
> Until the end, Lu Xia's consciousness began to blur.
If this membrane cannot be broken, then one's lifespan truly comes to an end. Lu Xia Tian had faced death several times and imagined his own demise, but he had never thought he would encounter such a situation.
Consciousness gradually blurred, but Lu Xiaoteng's nascent soul still stubbornly punched again and again against that diaphragm.
At this time, the various spiritual instruments surrounding the Yuanying within the Dantian sensed their master's crisis and each emitted a ray of spiritual energy from outside to this membrane. They attempted to pierce through it and re-establish a connection with their master's Yuanying.
By the end, Lu Xia Tian's vision went black and his consciousness became utterly hazy. He could no longer care about the thin, silver membrane or understand what was happening inside his body at that moment.d well with the turbulent star field. Their concealment would be significantly weaker.Along the way, Xiaotian also encountered conflicts between star domain alien races and other teams. They usually a...
